Deployment

Pulse AI is built with Next.js and can be deployed to any platform that supports Node.js applications. For the best experience, we recommend deploying with Vercel.

Before Deploying

Before creating a production deployment, ensure you have:

  • Customized your content and branding
  • Updated SEO metadata
  • Added your environment variables (if applicable)
  • Tested the application locally

Verify your production build works correctly:

npm run build

If the build completes successfully, your project is ready for deployment.

Deploying to Vercel

Vercel is the recommended hosting platform for Pulse AI.

Step 1: Create a Repository

Upload your customized Pulse AI project to a Git repository.

Step 2: Import the Project

Log in to your Vercel dashboard and click Add New Project.

Select your repository and import it.

Step 3: Configure Environment Variables

If your project uses environment variables, add them in the Vercel project settings before deploying.

Step 4: Deploy

Click Deploy.

Vercel will automatically:

  • Install dependencies
  • Build the application
  • Generate an optimized production deployment

Once completed, your website will be available at a live URL.

Production Build

To create a production build locally:

npm run build

To start the production server:

npm start

Deploying to Other Providers

Pulse AI can also be deployed to:

  • Netlify
  • Railway
  • DigitalOcean
  • AWS
  • Azure
  • Google Cloud
  • VPS Hosting Providers

Most providers simply require:

npm install
npm run build
npm start

Environment Variables

If your project uses API keys or third-party integrations, create a .env.local file during development:

NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL=https://your-domain.com

When deploying, add the same variables through your hosting provider's dashboard.

Custom Domain

After deployment, connect your custom domain through your hosting provider's domain settings.

Example:

https://yourdomain.com

Be sure to update any SEO metadata or environment variables that reference your domain.

Updating Your Deployment

Whenever you make changes:

  1. Save your changes locally.
  2. Create a new production build.
  3. Push the updates to your repository.
  4. Redeploy through your hosting provider.

Most modern platforms automatically redeploy whenever changes are pushed to the connected repository.

Need Help?

If your deployment fails:

  • Verify that npm run build completes successfully locally.
  • Confirm all required environment variables are configured.
  • Ensure you are using Node.js 18 or later.
  • Check your hosting provider's deployment logs for detailed error messages.

Your Pulse AI website is now ready for production 🚀
